I am having a issue with my G900T reading and SD Card.
When it is inserted into the GS5 it says unsupported SD Card (sometimes it even says the brand name, ie unsupported Sandusky sd card. Now I have tried multiple SD Cards of various sizes and brands. I have tried the same SD Cards in different devices and they work. I have deleted & and created a new partition and try to format it. When I boot into TWRP and the card is in the phone TWRP flashes over and over until I pull the battery. The type of card I am trying to get working on the phone is a 64GB Samsung EVO SDXC card. I have also used 16GB cards and I get the same result.
This happens on both factory 6.0.1 and CyanogenMod 13.
Could this mean the card reader is dying? Or is there a simple or not so simple fix?

Hi Guys,
I had some problems with my sandisk micro sd card. I am a type of guy that likes changing rome. one day when changing roms, My phone was very hot and i decided to unmount my sd card. after rebooting, i inserted my sd card in and a message flashed: Blank SD card. i clicked on the message and reformatted the card and the same message came out again. i inserted it into my mac and use disk utility to erase the contents of the sd card as all the other options were unavailable. the time for it to erase took longer and longer. after one night, the time increased to a week and then the card wouldent format. i looked at many other forums and the solution to many was sdformatter, which unfortunately did not work for me. when i used my windows to reformat, an error occurred and i could not reformat. i went into device and printers to find it but it was not there. so i was wondering if there is another way for me to fix this problem as this is the 4th 32gb sandisk micro sd card i bought.
Try SD formatter on a different PC, if that fails then you need to buy another SD card or return it the the seller - try another brand if Sandisk keeps failing.
Ok so I have never heard of this one before and I have tried looking for an answer.
My S2 works perfect when it has no micro sd inserted but the moment I put in a micro sd card the phone will boot ok but then it will not recognize any of the phone external storage (the 16gb bit) I get an mtp application has stopped error and I cannot access anything with any file managers not internal storage, external storage, or micro sd. The micro sd doesn't even show up and the rest show all directories as empty. I have this problem exactly the same if I flash a custom rom or stock rom rooted or unrooted it makes no difference. Anyone have any ideas? I have tried different sd cards but they all cause the same problem. I have tried reformatting the sd card also.
Flash dorimanx kernel version for the ROM you're on and test. Also formatting int sd card may help with this. Bk up you're data. format it and test.
Hello, I have a Jiayu G4S phone (1GB RAM/4GB ROM version). It has android 4.2.2 and by default it uses only external SD micro card for saving files (photos, music, ebboks, downloads from internet,...). Internal memory is used for installing apps, but that can be changed to external memory. I used to have SD micro card inserted and everthing worked ok. But then my SD card reader stopped recognizing SD card. I sent phone back for repair, but they did not repair it (although they say they did). I tried different cards in phone, but they don't work. Some are not recognized at all, some are recognized with message, that SD card is corrupted and I should try formatting. When I try formatting, nothing happens. I tried formatting SD cards outside phone - with windows, and some other programs. I tried with brand new card. I tried MTK Eingineer Mode - SD card test...but it says there is no card in phone. Is there anything else I could do to fix that myself?
Because if I send it back again I will have to be without phone for another month or two and I can't do that...
I was also thinking - is there a possibility I could make my phone save files to internal memory instead of external SD card?
Hello,
So my sd card (16gb) appears to have stop working and the phone gives me the message “SD Card is blank or has unsupported filesystem.” This started yesterday after I changed default storage for my camera to sd card. Before that it was working just fine.
I restarted the phone, no luck with that. Turn off phone and remove and cleaned sd card, still no luck. I plugged in my phone to the computer to access the sd card, but did not show up, I guess its cause the card is not mounted? So then I thought I’ll just plug in the sd card to my computer and back up everything and then format to correct, but no that didn’t work… when I plugged it in my computer, my computer did not even recognize my card.
At first I thought maybe my adapter is broken, so I plugged in a spare sd card (1gb) I had lying around and that on worked just fine. So I googled what could be wrong and read that it could be that the adapter does not support HCSD cards. So then I plugged in my sd card into a USB sd card reader (which had a slot for micro sd which I used), but same thing – did not recognize 16gb card, but it did for 1gb card. I checked to see if it’s a driver issue, but it was up to date. Then I doubted the USB card reader didn’t support HCSD like the adapter, so I went out and bought a new USB card reader (one that works with HCSD cards) from bestbuy (Insignia SD/MMC Memory Card Reader). Still did not recognize card with new reader on computer.
I googled to see what my options were, but the solutions that I found all had the computer recognize the card – which mine isn’t doing… but I still tried a few things I read like chkdsk in command prompt, but I got “Cannot open volume for direct access” error.
Even though my computer does not recognize the card, my phone does recognize it but corrupt and offers to format. I also tried it on different phones (Galaxy S2 T989, and Blackberry Bold 9650) to see if it can read it, but same thing it recognizes it but corrupt and unreadable.
I’m still looking around for solutions, but if anyone can help me with this, please do. Please let me know if you need more info.

Sounds like the SD is toast. It's not easy to extract corrupted data from a micro sd card
Hi,
I have huge issues with my SDCard. Since I'm on CM13 and formated the SD as internal memory, the card becomes corrupted after a few weeks. My first card which was replaced suddenly caused the system to freeze and then it would not Boot while the card was inserted. Every attempt to reformatreformat in TWRP (which initially did not boot with inserted card too) or in Windows were unsuccessful so I assume the card was broken on a low level.
The new card shows similar signs after only a week (read only fs errors) but I was able to reformat in Android to the "normal" external Mode. I should mention that it is a 64GB Sdxc card. It the only difference between sdxc and sdhc is filesystem support right?
Does anyone have issues with internal memory mode?
